A new variant of the Astaroth Trojan was detected in a massive spam campaign that not only exploits legitimate operating system processes, but also targets antivirus software to expand its capabilities and steal credentials.Reported by Cybereason's Nocturnus Research team earlier this week, the latest version of the Astaroth Trojan injects a malicious module into one of Avast's processes, aswrundll.exe. Researchers said, because Avast is one of most common antivirus programs in the world, this makes it an effective evasion strategy. Earlier versions of the malware, which was first detected in 2017, would scan targeted systems for Avast and simply quit if the antivirus program was detected.

Researchers have developed a new software that could spot potentially lethal heart diseases and may lead to improvements in prevention and treatment, says a new study.The software ElectroMap which measures electrical activity in the organ, is a new open source software for processing, analysis and mapping complex cardiac data.

The Astaroth trojan disguises itself in JPEG, GIF or even extension free files to avoid being detected by antivirus software. Once a user downloads the infected file from a phishing campaign, Microsoft 's BITSAdmin tool is used to download the payload which is then injected, and a connection to the C2 server is made.According to Cybereason ”As we enter 2019, we anticipate that the using of WMIC and other LOLbins will increase. Because of the great potential for malicious exploitation inherent in the use of LOLbins, it is very likely that many other information stealers will adopt this method to deliver their payload into targeted machines. ”
